Where are the highlands of South and Central America located?
Along the Pacific coast
What type of geological feature would you expect to find along the west coast of South America and why?
You would expect to find long mountain ranges, such as the Andes, along the west coast of South America. This is because the region is located along a convergent plate boundary where the South American Plate is colliding with the Nazca Plate, leading to intense tectonic activity and the uplift of large mountain ranges.
Is the andes a continental-continental?
Yes, the Andes is a convergent boundary where the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate collide. This collision creates extensive mountain ranges along the western coast of South America.
What were the eastern and western boundaries of the addition in 1783?
The eastern boundary was the Mississippi River, while the western boundary was the original 13 colonies along the Atlantic coast.
Does central Americas population exhibit higher densities in it's pacific coast lands than along it's Caribbean shore?
Yes, Central America's population tends to be more concentrated along the Pacific coast than along the Caribbean coast. This is partly due to the mountainous terrain and dense forests along the Caribbean side, which make settlement and infrastructure development more challenging compared to the flatter and more accessible Pacific coast. Additionally, historical factors such as colonization and economic activities have also influenced settlement patterns.
The sea dog Francis Drake sailed along the coast of?
South and Central America south and central America
In what way is the plate boundary along the coast of California different from the plate boundary along the west coast of South America?
The plate boundary along the coast of California is a transform boundary where the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes. In contrast, the plate boundary along the west coast of South America is a convergent boundary where the Nazca Plate subducts beneath the South American Plate, leading to volcanic activity and mountain building.
The incan civilization was located along the western coast of?
central america
Where are Mexico oil resources located?
Along the east coast of Central America
What is along the coast of Mexico and Central America?
The "Ring of Fire". Also the Pacific Ocean.
Are the two plates along the coast of south America a divergent boundary?
No, the two plates along the coast of South America are not a divergent boundary; they are part of a convergent boundary. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, which leads to significant geological activity, including the formation of the Andes Mountains and frequent earthquakes. Divergent boundaries, in contrast, occur where tectonic plates move apart.
Are the two plates along the coast of South America probably a divergent boundary or a convergent boundary?
It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.
Did the Olmec live in Latin America?
Yes. Along the shores of the Mexican Gulf Coast and on central and southern Mexico.
Which South American continental margin is passive and not a plate boundary?
The east coast of South America along the Atlantic Ocean is a passive continental margin. This means that it is not located along a tectonic plate boundary where significant tectonic activity such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions occur. The passive margin formed when South America separated from Africa during the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean.
What coast of South America do the Andes run along?
Located along the entire western coast of South America.
On which continent is the Mosquito Coast?
North America - in that part referred to as Central America. It lies along the eastern seaboard of Nicaragua and the southern tip of eastern Honduras.
Are the two plates along the coast of south America probably a divergent boundary or a convergent?
It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.
